surreal having Liam say I was alone. “If you want to put it that way. I don’t feel alone. I focus on my bar. I have friends here. I like my employees, most of the time, at least.”

Liam bit his bottom lip. “I feel like I was so much of a challenge it forced you out of Los Angeles,” he said.

“I needed to leave that city,” I said. “Regardless of you, even. Leaving LA was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I love my life here in Amberfield.”

“You love the cows and hills and having nothing to do?”

“Hush,” I said. “You know it’s more than that.”

“I do now,” he said, nodding once.

“And if I can get Red’s more exposure on this TV show, it’ll only be good for everyone in my little Red’s Tavern family.”

Liam smiled at me, his grey eyes shining from across the room. I realized that I’d just been having an honest conversation with him for minutes, while my cock was fully out, resting against my thigh.

I’d felt totally comfortable the whole time, though. And paradoxically, I was feeling a lot more ready and eager to film now, even though my dick wasn’t cooperating at all.

I reached down again, trying to pump some life into it. I sighed.

“I… think I’m too excited to film the video, and that’s why I can’t relax,” I said. “I feel like I have pure adrenaline in my veins right now.”

“I know that feeling,” Liam said, nodding. “This happened to me a few times before I filmed with really famous stars, back in the day.”

“This happened to you?” I asked. “But you never have problems getting hard.”

“Neither do you, as far as I remember,” Liam said, raising an eyebrow.

“You’re right,” I said. “That hasn’t changed.”

He nodded. “You’re just experiencing a normal thing. It’s like stage fright, but it’s more like… stage excitedness.”

I let out a breath. “Well, I have no fucking clue how to fix it.”

“Some porn stars would fix it by taking Viagra,” he said.

“I’m not doing that.”

“And others would…” Liam said, biting his bottom lip.

“What?”

“Sometimes when it happened to me, I’d have to ask to… get a little help.”

“Help?”

He swallowed. “I can help you, is what I’m saying.”

He took a few steps forward, walking away from the camera. He looked at my cock as he stepped between my boots, and my heart pounded as I watched him get on his knees between my legs. I couldn’t stop staring at the gorgeous tattoos decorating his arms, the way one of them reached up just above the collar of his shirt, at his collarbone. The dark ink was the same color as his hair. God damn he was easy on the eyes. I could look at the man forever.

And my cock finally throbbed a little, too.

“Jesus, Liam, hey. You don’t have to do anything,” I said.

His face was so close to my cock now. I could feel the warmth of his breath on my skin. My cock perked up a little more just from his proximity. His dark lashes were cast downward, then he met my eyes again, the stormy grey so alive.

“Would it make you uncomfortable?”

“I mean, no,” I said, licking my lips.

“I was literally a porn star, Red,” he said, shrugging. “I don’t mind sucking you off a little bit.”

I felt my cock growing just from his words. He looked down and saw it, too, smiling.

“See? Sometimes your body just needs a little reminder of what things feel like before you’re on camera.”

He bent forward a little further and I watched, frozen in place, as he gently put his lips around the tip of my cock and sucked it into his mouth.

Jesus.

My heart pounded inside me. His mouth was a rush of warmth and wetness so exquisite that it made me groan involuntarily. I hadn’t been inside Liam’s mouth in so many years, but memories came roaring back instantly.

He had always been so good to me. He would blow me when I was stressed, when I was happy, when there was no reason to. He had always been so giving when it came to sex. I’d forgotten just how much I missed that.

I felt as his tongue slid out, lapping in a small circle around my tip. And miraculously, I felt my dick go from zero to sixty in absolutely no time.

“Fuck,” I said, sucking in some air as I hardened quickly inside his mouth. He hummed happily, pulling off and looking at my erection, glistening
